Okay,  taxes are done, and the weather was finally dry enough for long 
enough
to  complete the first lawn-mowing of the year.  Back to work on Mister  
Two.


I'm now putting the finishing touches on my Double DIN to  Single DIN/turbo
timer/boost controller conversion.  The plastic trim  pieces I was going to
use to fill the spaces on either side of the boost  controller/turbo timer
didn't work out, and I'm now making the pieces out  of aluminum angle stock.
I'll prime and paint them satin black, as well as  the new custom brackets I
made up to support the back of the JDM  cupholder.  I'm even going to slide 
a
black painted piece of styrene  plastic in an appropriately located slot in
the bottom of the cupholder to  cover up the space caused by the thick
double-backed foam tape I used to  mounting the turbo timer and boost
controller.  It's looking  good.

Now, towards my obsessive/compulsive drive towards making a  sixteen year 
old
car look like new, I've noticed in my status pictures that  my steering 
wheel
looks REALLY worn.  I think I saw a new MR2 airbag  equipped steering wheel
for sale for about $750.  I don't THINK  so.  I'd like to keep a factory
steering wheel though, in case someone  plows into me and claims they're not
liable for crippling me because I  disabled the car's safety features.
Better to be able to sue Toyota for a  sixteen year old airbag squib that
didn't fire.  Has anybody tried an  aftermarket steering wheel cover such as
this  one:

And  been happy with its look and  feel?
